Volume 2, Part 1: Processor Abstraction Layer
PAL procedures that use the static calling conventions do not use stacked registers or
the RSE. Therefore RSE internal state and the CFM are unchanged by these procedures.
11.10.2.3 Return Buffers
Any addresses passed to PAL procedures as buffers for return parameters must be
8-byte aligned. Unaligned addresses may cause undefined results.
11.10.2.4 Invalid Arguments
The PAL procedure calling conventions specify rules that must be followed. These rules
specify certain PSR values, they specify that reserved fields and arguments must be
zero filled and specify that values not defined in a range and defined as reserved must
not be used.
If the caller of a PAL procedure does not follow these rules, an invalid argument return
value may be returned or undefined results may occur during the execution of the
procedure. If the caller passes in a PAL procedure index value that is not defined, PAL
will return an Unimplemented procedure (-1) status to the caller.

a. BSP, BSPSTORE, and RNAT may not be changed by PAL, but the value at exit may be different due to RSE
activity. PAL_TEST_PROC is an exception to this rule, and the RSE contents may not be relied on after
making this procedure call.
b. No PAL procedure writes to the ITC. The value at exit is the value at entry plus the elapsed time of the
procedure call.
c. No PAL procedure writes to the RUC. The value at exit is the value at entry plus the number of cycles
provided to the processor during the procedure call.
